Osaka Japanese Bistro Summerlin

We waited long time to be sitting even with reservation. Than waited long time to have chef, salad was taste good, but very little. Food taste good but not filling that much, very small amount of beef. If you are big person or really hungry, you need to order a lot of food, not just regular entrees. Total time exactly was in and out 3 hours and I am not exaggerating here! It is overpriced even with groupon that amount of food we got. If you want to experience the environment that he cook front of you and if you have lots of time to spend go for it, taste was good.

Over priced, horrible service by sushi chef… one chef for entire sushi bar with zero creativity and personality! Paper thin sashimi for $ 15! Rolls were disappointing, and combo fried rice was dry as the Sahara desert! But hey if you want to waste $ 100 and listen to some douche try and impress the girl he met on
then this is your place!

I would of rated my experience a (1 Star) rating for LUNCH. However Dylan our server was very nice and courteous and taking my rating into consideration from my past visits for Hibachi dinner’s I gave them a 3 Star.
Today’s visit with my best-​friend and our kids was not a good one (Extremely Disappointed)… We where the only customers in the restaurant which should of raised a RED flag. No customers usually isn’t a good sign generally. Being optimistic I assumed that we would be in and out faster today. Wow, how wrong was I !!
Took almost 35 minutes for food to arrive. That’s Insane being the only customers. Was the cook out to lunch or what ?
* The lunch menu and regular Menu is a priced much higher than most Sushi restaurants that I have been too. «I eat sushi 3 times a month at least»
* The portions for the Bento Box meals are a joke and we still left hungry. The appetizers are tiny.
* The Quality of the food was just plain ok. Didn’t wow any of us.
I feel that it was a bad choice to come here for Lunch, especially after Hyping up the restaurant to my best-​friend.
* * Save your money for a restaurant that leaves you feeling satisfied. We definitely didn’t get value for what we paid. Not worth it !!
I will NEVER come back to eat LUNCH here again, not even if it was FREE!

Great food (not a decent portion) not to clean and ¡¡¡¡REALLY HIGH PRICES!!! we order 3 different dishes 1 extra side (shrimp) 4 beers and 4 sodas so we ending paying $ 310.95 dlrs. Oooohhh!!! and poor service!!!

Used a Groupon last night here. The food was excellent the service was adequate but seemed like there weren’t enough staff to handle the surge from the Groupon response. The location is easy to find and the parking was sufficient. Never received our second beverage so we left. Great deal!

First step I take into nice restaurant I thought «wow this place looks REALLY nice» and the workers were nothing but nice and super professional and just very amazing. Seated right away, drinks were brought no wait AT ALL. I was only brought in here by a groupon other than that I wouldn’t have even found this place.
I order a red rock roll, crunch tempura roll, baked mussels and a salmon bento box. ($ 20 for the whole bento which is totally worth the price)
The red rock roll is tuna on top with salmon and you can really taste the quality of the fish. The mussels (I’m a big fan of mussels only when they’re fresh so ordering mussels is a big risk for me lol) I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. They were actually very delicious the mussels tasted fresh and a little crunchy Bc they’re baked lol so it tasted even better.
The bento box just completely filled me up, the salmon was cooked to perfection and the aesthetics of the whole bento was so appealing to the human eye I finished it so fast made it taste even better hahaha
Total $ 50 for all that, super good deal.
They even offer teppanyaki here so if you want a fancy place to go for a special night id recommend it here. If you’re coming for dinner you may need to make a reservation it looks like it gets really busy.
My server was Andrew and he was the BEST server ever. Never for a moment did I need to wait on the server for refills or anything, he was on point with his job and he’s very funny too what a character that guy haha. I completely enjoyed dining here I’m definitely coming back again and I’ll bring all my friends.

I love this place. The Hibachi dinner is very tasty and it is a very fun place to eat!

Have eaten here MANY times over the years and I always receive great service. Both Habachi Grill and regular dining are wonderful. I have never had an empty glass of water for more than 10 seconds! Good atmosphere as well.

Terrible service beyond the worst ever. Not worth the savings groupon provides to endure such misery! Staff is totally uncoordinated and lacking proper skills and management. They sit more people at your table after you have ordered and finished your salads and soup!

If you’re looking for a fun place to eat at with great food, I highly recommend this place.
I really enjoy this hibachi restaurant. I’ve been here at least four times. It’s a fun place for a date or even a group. The chefs are entertaining to watch; they put on a great show. I definitely recommend making reservations in advance. Without reservations it is hard to get in around dinner time.
As for the food, I’ve tried the chicken, steak, and shrimp hibachi plates. All are really good, but the shrimp is by far my favorite. Also, if you like sticky white rice, they have really good sticky rice (and I’m really picky about rice). They serve more than enough food – salad, soup, veggies, rice, and meat. I usually have a to-​go bag for my left overs.

I’ve been going to Osaka for years! I lived right down the street and now currently live across town but this is still the ONLY sushi restaurant I eat at in Las Vegas! Best sushi! Gorgeous and fun atmosphere! absolutely the best hospitality I have ever had!!! Thank you Osakas!

I’m usually not so wordy, but this place gave me a lot to say.
Having been to the Sahara location for sushi on several occasions, I saw a Groupon for the Summerlin location and figured «why not?» Definitely one of the lower end hibachi experiences I’ve had, and trust me that I’ve had my share. I can say that I have no complaints about the service and that was the only saving grace from this being a 1 star review.
But the rest of the experience… meh. Walking into the restaurant, we were welcomed by Pandora ads playing throughout the restaurant speakers. I love Pandora, but they couldn’t spare $ 5 a month for an ad-​free subscription? Although we came for the food and not the music, this is tacky.
We were seated fairly promptly at our own grill and couldn’t help but notice food and used chop sticks on the floor at the adjacent tables. At this point, I’m willing to forgive the appearance of the floor hoping the food makes up for it so I brush it off. At our waitresses suggestion, we both ordered martinis that disappointed. For $ 11 a drink, I expect to be able to taste vodka in a martini.
Soup and salad come out shortly after the drinks. The miso soup was fine. The salad was just lettuce with watery dressing and super thin carrot slices on it. No tomatoes or cucumbers like you might find elsewhere. Although maybe a minor thing to complain about, the lettuce seemed a little warm like it was just sitting out. All I know is it definitely didn’t come out of a working refrigerator any time recently.
Ok, so our chef comes out. Personable guy, does all the usual tricks, nothing out of the ordinary. I had chicken and shrimp, and she ordered scallops. The fried rice and veggies were average, no complaints. The meat portions were small. You know the portions were small because both of us finished our meals and that’s not usually the case at places like this. I got a tiny chicken breast and 7 shrimp. Her scallops were small for sea scallops and probably closer to bay scallops in size… for comparison’s sake, they were maybe half the size of what you’d expect from Benihana and I’m being generous. The worst part? They tasted way fishy, so they were obviously not fresh. I considered drafting this review and waiting to see how we felt in the morning, but thought I’d post it now hoping that just in case we die that someone sees this Unilocal review so they know who to sue for our wrongful deaths.
When the check came, I was blown away that this was a $ 98 dinner. Maybe they need to look out the window and realize this restaurant is not on the strip. At my regular hibachi place in LA, I’d get filet mignon and lobster for the same price as chicken and shrimp here. No thanks Osaka Summerlin, I’ll stick to your sushi on Sahara.

15 minutes from the Strip on a good day and located in somewhat upscale Summerlin.
Nice neighborhood restaurant with both hibachi and traditional sushi offerings. Reasonably priced and presentable food with a few unique options including a cucumber wrapped roll.
Good ambience and service. Worth a visit.

It’s on my side of town, so I’ve probably driven by Osaka a thousand times. But we’re not big fans of Japanese food (I know, I know, it’s against the Unilocal Creed of Vegas dining, and probably a violation of their Terms of Service). But once in a rare while we get a yen for a hibachi meal. Pun intended.
Though I wasn’t enticed to dine here by many of the reviews of my fellow Elites, the $ 25
certificate we bought oh, maybe five years ago was beckoning to be used. And I thought there must be a reason Osaka’s still in business, sooo…
When we were seated, the guy asked my husband if we had a coupon. At least he thought he asked if we had a coupon. More about that later.
The same guy came to take our drink orders while I was looking over the list of wines. I ordered my usual Riesling, but he said that only the house wine came with the dinners, and the house white was a Chardonnay. I don’t like it, but hey, «comes with it» vs $ 9? No-​brainer from whence I come. Besides, my taste in wine has recently changed to less sweet, so I went with that. Herb had a beer, which also was included. (Nothing on the hibachi menu said anything about that). We were told we could order anything up to the $ 32 combos, Our confusion was growing, and I went with chicken and shrimp, while Herb had the chicken and steak.
I really enjoyed the miso soup. Has my taste changed again, or was this especially good? I usually tolerate it, but don’t love it. The little side salad was cute, with curls of carrots from a Vegetti-​like tool making it prettier, but it sure would have been messy on a first date. Not our problem :) Our chef wasn’t Japanese, but from the South Seas islands, and he put on an entertaining show. He followed our instructions almost to the letter, using lower-​sodium soy sauce and no extra salt; he slipped up only once, immediately offering to remake it, but it was the steak, and Herb’s not as salt-​phobic as I.
The food was all really tasty, including the fried rice, which we had also been told came with the dinner. Curioser and curioser. Until the bill came. We’d already handed the guy our $ 25 coupon, and the bill now included the wine, beer, and one fried rice.
The mystery was cleared up quickly. I was off taking pics when Herb was asked about the coupon. I’ll never know whether the man said «coupon» or «Groupon,» but apparently there’s a Groupon out there that costs, I think, $ 49 for a complete dinner for two, and that wasn’t ours! Then, after he explained all that, he took the check back and, without us even asking, took off the drinks and the
discount, and gave us the coupon back. Checking
later, I saw that the latest Osaka coupon on that site doesn’t even offer $ 25 off anymore, just, I think, $ 10. That is Customer Service with a capital C, and that’s why I’ve bumped it up one star to a 5. A rare experience, and much appreciated. I could become a fan.

Overpriced. The showmanship of the chefs is really good, but I feel like they are hamstrung by low quality ingredients. I came here with some friends because we found a groupon and I probably wouldn’t come back even with a discount.
The sushi was not great, barely okay. I’m not a sushi expert, and to be honest I still have a hard time with some of the simpler raw stuff where the fish is the focus, but I know a good California roll and these weren’t it. The spicy tuna rolls were also lackluster in both flavor and spicy. The worst part about the California rolls was how much veggie they stuffed in there. Come on guys, it’s obvious you’re using imitation crab meat, now you want to pinch pennies by giving me a half roll worth and filling the empty space with even cheaper veggie?
The drinks were expensive.
The steaks, chicken, shrimp, and scallops I had during the main course were all very well seasoned and expertly cooked, but that can’t overcome a bad cut of meat or a flavorless shrimp. I had to make liberal use of the two sauces they provide and that’s a shame. Good meats and seafood, when well made, should be able to stand completely on their own.
The fried rice was awesome. Probably because it’s basically impossible to mess up the ingredients. Speaking of rice, the rice in the sushi was also excellent. So I guess there’s that.

After seeing all of the terrible groupon experiences and having bought the hibachi groupon I was expecting the worse, but this place is actually pretty good.
The only reason for deducting a star was the fact of me calling about four times to make a reservation for dinner and the phone just ringing and ringing. Maybe they have a no number? Who knows.
The overall dinner experience was very good though. We were seated immediately, served very quickly and all the food was delicious.
I’m not sure if I’d return without the groupon but it was still a very good time.

Groupon strikes again!!! This is a lot further than my usual local restaurants, but groupon made me do it! Lmao.
I was instructed, by groupon, to call and make a reservation… But they didn’t answer the phone at all during the 5 times I called. Even when I approached… I the hostess I mentioned the phones not working and I offered to call in front of her… It rang. This led me to believe they just didn’t want to answer my call since it was an hour before closing.
Anyways… We ordered Yellowtail sashimi and baked green mussels as an appetizer. Both were delicious and fresh. Id prefer cilantro on my yellowtail as well as the jalapeño… But let’s not be too picky. I’d also prefer a plate without a huge chip in it. It’s about presentation as well as taste.
We sat at the teppanyaki table and J. R was our chef. I mentioned that I like my steaks medium, but I usually order my filet mignon medium rare due to it never being cooked right. He assured me he would make it right… Even gave me a taster, and behold… It was amazing.
Ordered an entrée of scallops as well. They are medium size and you get about 10 per order.
Entrees come with Miso soup and ginger salad, hibachi shrimp and fried rice and veggies
All in all, if I make the long stretch to come back out to this location… I’ll come back!

Skip this place. Awful food, expensive (even with a Groupon), and lackluster service. BEWARE: portions are EXTREMELY small. Ordered 4 rolls and each roll was the circumference of a nickel averaging $ 11 – 15 each. Only 1 of 4 rolls was good and even then there are so many better options nearby.
Avoid this place.

This place has definitely changed over the years, including different staff, menu updates, and changes in décor.
For the longest time this was my favorite Japanese restaurant in Vegas. The Teriyaki Beef was always succulent and seasoned just right, the rice was perfectly steamed, and so on. Everything was always wonderfully done and nicely presented. It catered to three different crowds — sushi bar, teppanyaki, and regular dining — and managed to do so efficiently.
Recently things have changed. Service has become quite slow with uninterested wait staff. The food isn’t presented as well and the portions have shrunk despite no change in price. The noise level is also pretty high, making it difficult to have a conversation. On my last visit the waitress seemed annoyed we wanted to use a coupon.
I will say the Ice Cream Tempura remains one of my favorite desserts. Unlike other locations, they add a layer of cake as a barrier between the ice cream and tempura for a totally different consistency. I recommend it, though maybe stop here for just dessert?

I hadn’t updated in awhile so I probably should to reflect some definite changes in the restaurant. The Sushi bar is still pretty good, but a meal that came from the kitchen made my roommate sick. Since that time, I have not gone back. I much prefer Yummy Grill just down the street.
I could tell the management was really not on top of their game. It’s almost like she doesn’t care anymore. That’s too bad because this could be and always was before a very good restaurant. But there are so many better places now that it isn’t worth a visit until vast improvement occurs.

Salimos. Comer algo diferente y pues dimos con comida japonesa y nos encanto el ambiente y la magia de esta comida
